A Samsung something, which is in reality a Pentax<br /><br />Guille(mette) [tu as une double identité sur le net !] "Oh non, je suis tellement déçue...tu nous a menti jusqu'à maintenant?! " LOOOOL<br /><br />Coltrane "Do you think that somewhere in the world (or Paris) there is a statue of a pigeon? :-)" Huh. I'm sure there is!<br /><br />Alexa "I've been searching all over for an honest man—and it turned out to be you!! " LOOOOOL! I AM a very honest man actually. I find it so difficult to lie, that I practically can't.<br /><br />Jeff "But remember: don't lose your instinct by trying to follow the rules!" Don't worry, I won't ;)<br /><br />Rich "Street photography is all about taking a quick opportunity." Yes, you are right. That is why most of the time I simply don't have the time to use the manual settings. Thanks for your compliments anyway ;-)<br /><br />Marie "Eh people, Marie was one of the pupils too. Bonjour Marie."<br /><br />Drummond "I also got a book the size of a mystery novel telling me how to use it!." LOOOOOL This is so funny and so true (only novels are generally captivating, manuals much less!)<br /><br />Thib "But I might stick to a bridge, instead of a reflex.... budget, budget ;-(" Bridges are fine. Frankly. <br /><br />Lois "Did you know that the famous painter Henri Rousseau claimed he had "no teacher other than nature"" No I did not. As for advice, I probably got them too, by looking at the well established photographers photos.<br /><br />Petrea "Jeff, do you mean it was Eric?"

I've glanced at the manual, but I'm usually too busy to look things up so I just turn on the camera and shoot.<br /><br />This photo shows it would be worth it to learn depth of field shooting, however!Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-43168354596720325182009-07-02T23:18:30.118+02:002009-07-02T23:18:30.118+02:00"...I didn't really like photography.

Street photography is all about taking a quick opportunity. Even the top pros manipulate their images either in the darkroom or on a PC. <br /><br />I look at your site daily for a quick slice of Paris life and it does that superbly. You do us all a wonderful service.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Richardrich.painter21https://www.blogger.com/profile/05382443704044430696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-69449288135541289572009-07-02T08:18:55.836+02:002009-07-02T08:18:55.836+02:00Coltrane!!
